Answer: y = -6x + 2
m = y_2 - y_1
/ x_2 - x_1
-10 - 8
/ 2 - (-1)
= -18/3 = -6
m (slope) = -6
y = mx + b
y = -6x +b
Find b using (-1,8)
y = -6x +b
8 = -6(-1) + b
8 = 6 + b
-6 -6
2 = b
Final answer: y = -6x + 2
To check using one of the points: (-1,8) or (2,-10)
y = -6x + 2
-10 = -6(2) + 2
-10 = -12 + 2
-10 = -10
This is a true statement.
Answer:
a³ + b³
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is
a(a² - ab + b²) + b(a² - ab + b²) ← distribute both parenthesis
= a³ - a²b + ab² + a²b - ab² + b³ ← collect like terms
= a³ + b³
